Hi all. Just thought I'd share some of my before and after pics. Adopted the tank about 9 weeks ago. It had a bad case of aiptasia and build up of dirt.

It's took a lot of effort but water quality is back on track and tank looks clean and fresh.

Recommendations on easy/hardy corals to add? Or an extra fish?
Currently I have 2 clowns, 1 wrasse, 2 hermit crabs and a few snails.

Thanks in advance

Hey you can pretty much put in any coral but 2 great ones are Xenia and Green star polyp. They can swim in and out of them.
thanks so much!
I like the look of the green star polyp - are there any others similar but not green? looking for pinks/yellows

thanks again for the heads up though!
